All Reich, calm down! Hitler 'spent months living in Liverpool flat' that was later destroyed by the LuftwaffeAdolf Hitler spent five months in Liverpool, wandering around the city and relaxing in the Poste House pub, pint in hand.
He also enjoyed a sightseeing tour of London and was so fascinated by Tower Bridge that he bribed his way into the engine room so he could see the machinery at work.
The claims come from an author exploring a long-held theory that the 23-year-old Hitler shared a flat in the city before World War I.

In his book, The Hitlers of Liverpool, Mike Unger claims the future Fuhrer fled to Merseyside from Vienna, to avoid national service. He says Hitler stayed in a flat in Toxteth with his married half-brother Alois from November 1912 to April 1913.
Word on the street is that he supported The Blues whilst here, as of course he was a committed "Anti Red"
Can just see him with a sausage roll (vegetarian) and a brown ale on Gwladys Street
Ha ha - i'm almost sure this story has been succesfully poo pooed. ;)
Brown ale? I thought he was a teetotaller, at least that is what Rudolf Hess told me.
It's the same old story heavy night on Higsons brown in the 1913/14 would turn anyone a teetotaller, and I wouldn't believe everything Hess says to you , I remember back in 1940 he said he could fly a plane to Berlin blindfolded at night..........Quote:

Thanks Lizzie, I would have missed that. :PDT11
Oh well, the Mail got the Post House bit wrong when it was actually Peter Kavanaghs.
I found this by chance in an Echo from 22nd August 1972, around the time the story really picked up, saying Alois Hitler's son was in his scout troop.

The post house mix up is to do with the ripper I think :rolleyes:
So, with evidence to say Hitler was in Vienna between 1910 - 1914, during the period he was supposed to be in Liverpool, I was right in thinking this story had been poo pooed.
